I am not sure what generation you think I am from but I am a baby boomer. The "Me, NOW" generation. I grew up in a very nice house in Levittown, New York, hardly the slums and definitely not impoverished. I knew nobody that was poor growing up. Seems to me I encounter a whole lot more poor people nowadays then ever before.

Most things when I was a kid were made in Japan. Then later Taiwan and now China.
